Register Now for Data Protection for the Multi-cloud Era
As businesses adopt a cloud-first strategy, the limitations and complexities of traditional data protection become more apparent. This drives the need to develop a new data protection strategy that ensures the same level of protection for both on-premises and cloud workloads.
Provide end-to-end protection of your data where it is located, spanning backup, disaster recovery, cloud archive, in-cloud protection, and more. Ensure both data mobility and governance, so you would know at all times – where your data is residing, where it is protected, and when and how the data is to be accessed and used.
To reduce risks of data loss by ensuring efficient replication and long-term retention, the Dell data Protection solution helps you move data easily to the cloud, from the cloud, or between cloud service providers. It enables end-to-end data verification where data is checked for redundancy and data readability. Besides investigating how data segments are being stored, it also ensures seamless integration with your existing data recovery infrastructures such as any backup and archival applications. Most importantly, it ensures operational consistency in meeting data governance requirements, especially where data is distributed across varied clouds and cloud service providers
Join this webinar and hear from our experts:
• Dell APEX Backup Services, a SaaS-based solution, provides unified data protection and governance for SaaS apps such as Microsoft 365
• Integrated ransomware defense and smart AirGap of PowerScale protect your organization from cyber attacks
